Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) – Altech Batteries Limited (ASX:ATC) (FRA:A3Y) (OTCMKTS:ALTHF) is pleased to announce that the Company showcased it’s CERENERGY(R) Battery technology at the prestigious Hannover Messe 2025, the world’s leading industrial trade fair. The event, which annually attracts over 200,000 visitors and 6,500 exhibitors from across the globe, provided Altech with a prime platform to introduce CERENERGY(R) to key stakeholders in the energy storage sector.
Altech’s CERENERGY(R) was prominently featured in the Energy Storage Hall, drawing significant attention from industry leaders, potential partners, and investors eager to explore next-generation solutions for clean energy storage. The company’s participation is part of a broader strategic effort to secure a strong commercial partner to help accelerate the commercialization of its sodium-alumina solid-state battery technology.
Throughout the event, Altech held numerous high-level meetings with representatives from energy companies, industrial manufacturers, and strategic investors looking to tap into the rapidly growing energy storage market. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, reflecting strong global demand for advanced battery technologies that can deliver high performance while reducing reliance on critical raw materials such as lithium and cobalt.
The Hannover Messe exhibition comes at a time when Germany is ramping up its defense and clean energy investments, driven in part by growing geopolitical uncertainties and the ongoing EU:US trade war. With energy security becoming a top priority, Altech’s CERENERGY(R) technology aligns perfectly with Europe’s strategic push towards energy independence and industrial resilience.
Group Managing Director Iggy Tan said ‘We are delighted by the level of interest in our CERENERGY(R) battery technology at Hannover Messe. The feedback we’ve received from potential partners and industry players has been extremely encouraging. As countries and industries accelerate their transition towards renewable energy, we see CERENERGY(R) as a game-changer in providing cost-effective, safe, and sustainable battery solutions.’

American President Donald Trump’s aggressive new tariffs on imports to the US have triggered swift global condemnation and threats of retaliation as world leaders brace for economic upheaval.
The sweeping measures, unveiled on Wednesday (April 2), have introduced a 10 percent baseline tariff on all imports and impose significantly higher duties on key US trading partners.
The tariffs — some of the highest imposed by the US in over a century, according to Fitch Ratings — have increased the average duty on imports to 22.5 percent, up from just 2.5 percent last year.
They target various goods, from Italian coffee and Japanese whisky to Asian-made sportswear, and have already prompted automaker Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) to temporarily lay off US workers and shutter plants in Canada and Mexico.
‘The consequences will be dire for millions of people around the globe,’ European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a scathing response, reflecting rising fears of escalating trade conflicts.
China, which is now facing a 54 percent tariff on its exports to the US, has vowed immediate retaliation, while the EU, which is subject to a 20 percent duty, has hinted at targeted countermeasures.
Despite mounting criticism, Trump continues to defend the tariffs, claiming they are necessary to counter unfair trade practices and revive the American manufacturing industry. He has described the policy as ‘Liberation Day’ for the US economy, insisting it will incentivize companies to relocate production back to American soil.
‘For decades, our country has been looted, pillaged, raped, and plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike,’ Trump declared from the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday.
Administration officials argue the tariffs will create jobs and open new export markets, though they acknowledge the benefits may take time to materialize. ‘We know a lot of Americans are worried,’ US Vice President JD Vance told Fox News. ‘What I’d ask folks to appreciate here is that we are not going to fix things overnight.’
Trump himself appears unfazed by the turmoil and criticism, posting on Truth Social, his social media platform: ‘THE OPERATION IS OVER! THE PATIENT LIVED, AND IS HEALING.’
Global leaders scramble to respond
The tariffs have ignited geopolitical tensions, particularly among US allies. Japan and South Korea, both home to major American military bases, were hit with tariffs of 24 percent and 25 percent, respectively.
Taiwan faces a 32 percent tariff despite ongoing US military support amid Chinese pressure.
In Europe, Germany’s IW research institute estimates that the tariffs could wipe out 750 billion euros (US$833 billion) from the region’s economy. The move has compounded existing tensions between the US and NATO allies, particularly regarding defense spending and Trump’s controversial stance on Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Robert Habeck, Germany’s economy minister and vice chancellor, has suggested the formation of closer economic ties with Canada and Mexico to counterbalance US policies. ‘Opportunities for new alliances are emerging that we should use determinedly and decisively,’ he stated, as reported by Reuters.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the tariffs, saying he has spoken with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz about strengthening trade ties. ‘As we face the crisis caused by President Trump’s tariffs, reliable trade partners are more important than ever,’ Carney said, adding that Canada intends to take countermeasures.
Mexico has signaled it will continue negotiating with Washington.
Notably, certain products are exempt from the new tariffs, including copper, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, lumber, gold, energy products and specific minerals unavailable in the US.
Additionally, existing tariffs on steel, aluminum, vehicles and vehicle parts remain unaffected by the new measures. These exemptions suggest the Trump administration is strategically attempting to safeguard industries and resources critical to national interests.
EU and other nations prepare countermeasures
The EU has vowed a strategic response, with officials stating that any countermeasures will be ‘smart and targeted.’
European leaders have particularly criticized Trump’s decision to include some of the world’s poorest nations in his sweeping tariffs, including Cambodia, Bangladesh and Lesotho.
‘To see countries like Lesotho, Cambodia, and Bangladesh hit the hardest by US tariffs is absolutely deplorable,’ an EU official said, as per a report by the Guardian. ‘These are not major industrial competitors. They produce goods like coffee and bananas, which pose no threat to the US economy.’
For his part, French President Emmanuel Macron has blasted the tariffs as ‘brutal and unfounded’ and emphasized their ‘massive’ impact on the French economy and Europe as a whole.
Sweden’s prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, expressed concerns over growing protectionism, stating, ‘The rules-based order that we have operated within since World War II is now on shaky ground.’
Despite the outrage, some European leaders view the tariffs as a potential bargaining chip for negotiations.
‘Our preferred option is, of course, to negotiate a deal. We don’t want growing trade barriers. We don’t want a trade war,’ Kristersson said. ‘If this fails, the EU stands ready with countermeasures.’
A tumultuous trade landscape
The US tariffs have left the global trade landscape in turmoil, with repercussions extending far beyond immediate economic losses. Many experts see Trump’s aggressive trade stance as a gamble that could reshape global alliances and challenge the post-World War II economic order.
Should negotiations with affected nations fail, the world could see a new era of economic fragmentation, with countries seeking to decouple from US trade dependence.
Watch the video to hear experts discuss the impact of tariffs.
The EU has already signaled that it may impose restrictions on American tech companies’ ability to charge for intellectual property, potentially striking at the heart of Silicon Valley’s economic dominance.
As April 9 — the date when targeted tariffs take full effect — approaches, the world is watching to see whether Trump’s trade policy will yield the economic resurgence he promises, or plunge global markets into deeper instability.
With allies and rivals alike preparing retaliatory measures, the prospect of a full-scale trade war looms larger than ever.
US stock market takes a hit
Following Trump’s announcement, US stock indexes experienced significant declines.
By midday Wednesday (April 3), the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) had fallen over 2 percent, while the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) had dropped 3.7 percent.
The Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) was down 4.6 percent, and the US Dollar Index had slumped by 2.1 percent. The euro gained 2.4 percent, marking its most substantial daily jump since 2015.
Analysts have expressed concerns that the tariffs could lead to inflation and reduced consumer demand, potentially increasing the risk of stagflation.
Canadian markets also recoiled from the tariffs, with the S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) slipping by 840 points to 24,466, marking its largest single-day drop since June 2020.
Although Canada largely avoided these new levies due to the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, sectors such as autos, steel and aluminum remain affected by separate tariff policies.
Additionally, oil and copper prices fell due to concerns over slowing global growth and reduced demand. Despite these challenges, the gold price steadied after a prior surge as investors sought safe-haven assets.

Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL) (‘ Freegold ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘), is pleased to announce that further to its news release of March 18, 2025 the Company has closed its upsized brokered private placement offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $41,975,805 which includes the exercise in full of the agent’s option for additional gross proceeds of $5,475,105 . Paradigm Capital acted as sole agent (the ‘ Agent ‘) on the Offering.
In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into an agency agreement (the ‘ Agency Agreement ‘) dated April 3, 2025 , between the Company and the Agent. In accordance with the Agency Agreement, 49,383,300 units of the Company (the ‘ Units ‘) were issued at a price of $0.85 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (a ‘ Unit Share ‘) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a ‘ Warrant ‘). Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (a ‘ Warrant Share ‘) for 24 months from today’s date at an exercise price of $1.30 per Warrant Share. The Warrants are callable by the Company should the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company on the Toronto Stock Exchange exceed $1.30 for a period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days, at any time during the period (i) beginning on the date that is 6 months from the closing date of the Offering, and (ii) ending on the date the Warrants expire (the ‘ Call Trigger ‘). Following a Call Trigger, the Company may give notice (the ‘ Call Notice ‘) to the holders of the Warrants (by disseminating a news release announcing the acceleration) that any Warrant that remains unexercised by the holder thereof shall expire thirty days following the date on which the Call Notice is given.
The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for general working capital and corporate purposes, with a primary focus on advancing the Golden Summit project. Drilling at Golden Summit is expected to resume next month, and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate is anticipated later in the second quarter, once the assays from the 2024 drill program have been finalized.
Mr. Eric Sprott , through an entity owned and controlled by him, purchased an aggregate of 14,814,900 Units in the Offering, representing 30% of the Units issued under the Offering.
Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘ MI 61-101 ‘), the purchase of Units by Mr. Sprott was a ‘related party transaction’. The Company was exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation in connection with the Offering in reliance on section 5.5(c) of MI 61-101, as the issuance of Units to Mr. Sprott was a distribution of securities of the Company to a related party for cash consideration. The issuance of the Units to Mr. Sprott was exempt from the requirement to obtain minority shareholder approval in reliance on section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Units received by Mr. Sprott nor the proceeds for such securities received by the Company exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.
A material change report will be filed less than 21 days from the date of the closing of the Offering. Closing the Offering in this shorter period was reasonable in the circumstances as the Company determined the shorter period was necessary because the terms of the transaction were favorable to the Company, given uncertain market conditions time was of the essence in closing the Offering, and closing the Offering expeditiously was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
The Offering is subject to the final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day.
The securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘ U.S. Securities Act ‘), or any U.S. state security laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with requirements of an applicable exemption therefrom. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States , nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Crypto news to know
Grayscale launches two Bitcoin ETFs
Grayscale expanded its digital asset offerings with the launch of two Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs): the Grayscale Bitcoin Covered Call ETF (BTCC) and the Grayscale Bitcoin Premium Income ETF (BPI).
Both ETFs employ an options selling strategy to generate income.
BTCC sells call options to maximize income generation. It is designed for investors who prioritize income over potential price appreciation. While providing income, this strategy limits potential gains if Bitcoin’s price increases.
BPI also sells options, but aims to balance income generation with potential price appreciation. It is designed for investors who want both income and the opportunity to benefit from a rising Bitcoin price.
SEC and Gemini request 60 day stay in lawsuit
The US Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and Gemini have jointly requested a 60 day stay in a lawsuit filed by the SEC against Gemini concerning the Gemini Earn program, which the SEC alleges violated securities laws. The core of the commission’s argument is that Gemini Earn is an investment contract under the Howey Test.
The lawsuit dates back to January 2023, during former SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s tenure. According to the request, which was filed on Tuesday (April 1), both parties are open to settlement discussions and believe a temporary pause in the litigation would be beneficial to reaching a potential resolution.
Kraken receives restricted dealer registration in Ontario
Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has secured a restricted dealer registration from the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) through its Canadian subsidiary, Payward Canada.
According to documentation filed on Tuesday, the registration allows Kraken to facilitate specific digital asset trading activities for Ontario residents. However, activities are subject to regulatory oversight imposed by the OSC, including measures to limit Kraken’s management of digital assets and safeguards to protect clients.
Cruz introduces FLARE Act to incentivize Bitcoin mining with stranded gas
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has introduced the Facilitate Lower Atmospheric Released Emissions (FLARE) Act, a bill designed to encourage Bitcoin miners and other industries to harness stranded natural gas for on-site energy generation. It aims to improve grid resilience, reduce emissions and solidify Texas as a leader in Bitcoin mining.
FLARE, endorsed by the Digital Power Network, provides permanent full expensing for infrastructure that captures and utilizes flared gas, while restricting access for entities linked to China, Iran, North Korea and Russia.
Cruz emphasized that this initiative supports energy innovation, strengthens economic growth and promotes the responsible use of excess energy resources.
Sony Electronics Singapore to accept USDC payments
Sony Electronics Singapore has partnered with Crypto.com to integrate USDC stablecoin payments, marking a significant step toward mainstream crypto adoption in the region.
Crypto.com Singapore’s general manager, Chin Tah Ang, stated that the collaboration aims to simplify crypto payments for consumers and expand digital currency use in everyday commerce. This development comes as other businesses, such as the Metro Holdings (SGX:MO1) department store chain, embrace stablecoin payments.
Singapore’s pro-crypto regulatory framework has fueled rapid industry growth, with a doubling of crypto-related licenses in 2024, positioning the nation as a major blockchain hub.
BlackRock secures FCA crypto registration
BlackRock has successfully registered with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), allowing it to facilitate crypto-related transactions for its iShares Digital Assets unit.
The FCA’s crypto register, established in 2020 to enforce anti-money laundering compliance, has approved only 51 out of 368 applications, highlighting the strict regulatory environment.
As an authorized arranger, BlackRock can now support subscriptions and redemptions of exchange-traded products (ETPs) tied to crypto assets. However, the firm is restricted from onboarding new clients or operating automated crypto-to-fiat exchange mechanisms without additional regulatory approval.
BlackRock’s registration follows similar approvals granted to Coinbase and other major players navigating the UK’s evolving crypto landscape.
Alabama lawmakers propose Bitcoin bills
Alabama lawmakers have introduced Senate Bill 283 and House Bill 482, which aim to allow the state to invest up to 10 percent of its public funds in Bitcoin.
The legislation, designed to position Bitcoin as a strategic financial asset, restricts investments to digital assets with a market capitalization exceeding US$750 billion — currently limited to Bitcoin. The bills specify that state-held Bitcoin must be stored by the state treasurer, a qualified custodian or via ETPs.

Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) (‘Rua Gold’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to advise the commencement of drilling at the Cumberland gold camp drill target. This builds upon the integration of the VRIFY AI targeting and ranking process with RUA’s extensive geological database, as well as the consolidation of the Reefton Goldfield – an orogenic gold and antimony belt on the South Island of New Zealand.
Highlights:
-
The geological team have defined an initial drill program for 6 holes of depths ranging from 70m to 150m to be drilled from the first pad to define the structure of the Gallant lode.
-
Targets are following up on high grade historical intercepts that are at very shallow depths ranging from 30m to 60m.
-
Subsequent drilling will then systematically test the remainder of the Cumberland gold camp targeting the 7 historic mines in a 2.2km long north-northwest trending zone of quartz veins and shearing.
-
Historical drilling targeting the Gallant structure drilled 20.7m of quartz with individual 1m assays ranging from 0.15g/t gold to 1911g/t gold (60oz/t) using screen fire assay method.
-
Re-assaying the historical core using photon assay methods confirms the very high grade and nuggety nature of the gold mineralization.
-
Averaging the two sets of core assays confirm a 20.7m intersection assaying 62.2 g/t (2 oz/t) gold.
-
Modelling of the observed quartz veins and gold mineralisation intercepts interprets an 8m true width of the vein.
-
Initial drilling targets a 600m zone from the Gallant to the Sir Francis Drake historical workings (see figure 3 below), where quartz veins can be traced on surface in folded structurally complex greywacke-argillite host rocks.
-
The Cumberland structural zone has emerged as a standout target from the early stages of the Company application of the VRIFY AI tool.
Rua Gold has completed drilling of the Victoria lode within the Murray Creek mine camp and is now focusing on the Cumberland gold camp, a historic site located 3km south of Globe-Progress Mine. The Globe-Progress Mine has a rich history of production, with over 1 million ounces of gold produced (424,000 ounces prior to 1950 and an additional 665,000 ounces produced between 2007 and 2015 under OceanaGold).
Simon Henderson, COO of Rua Gold, commented, ‘The Gallant prospect represents the first VRIFY target to be drilled in 2025. With a history of compelling high-grade gold, it lies in structurally complex steeply folded sequence of rocks, is traceable on surface over 600m, and remains largely untested along strike and at depth. Located just 3km south of a major road and accessible via a 4WD track, Gallant has logistical simplicity for exploration and potential development.’

THE PLAN
Based on the extensive surface exploration work and historical drilling, the Gallant lode in the Cumberland gold camp stands out as an exceptional high-grade target. Abandoned without rigorous testing following the completion of the Globe-Progress mining, it features quartz veins outcropping on surface within an envelope of strong gold-arsenic anomalism.
The Gallant lode has several exploratory holes drilled by OceanaGold 15 years ago, on a well-defined quartz vein at shallow depth (Table 1 in the appendix; Figure 2). The Company has re-assayed the historical core using photon assay methods, which confirmed the very high grade and nuggety nature of gold mineralization. Averaging the two sets of core assays confirms a 20.7 m intersection assaying 62.2 g/t (2oz/t) gold, with a modelled true width of 8m. Core orientation clearly demonstrates that this intersection drilled down the quartz reef exaggerating its width but provides for a compelling and prospective target for immediate follow-up.

THE HISTORY
The Cumberland gold camp comprises 7 historic mines in a 2 km long north-northwest trending zone of quartz veins and shearing. Historic production totaled 21,740oz gold at an average recovered grade of 26.1 g/t (see appendices).

VRIFY’S AI PLATFORM
The Company has partnered with VRIFY to onboard VRIFY’s AI-assisted mineral discovery platform to accelerate discovery, reduce costs and further de-risk exploration.
In conjunction with the consolidation of the Reefton Goldfield in November 2024, the Company implemented the VRIFY AI tool. Early in the AI training phase, Cumberland was identified as a standout target. The VRIFY team has assimilated geochemistry, drilling and geophysical data on an unprecedented scale and accuracy over the whole district, processing over 84GB of data, +170,000 data points, actively informing our 2025 drill targets for quicker project advancement and de-risking our work programs.
Rua Gold’s data, unlocked through VRIFY’s Al-assisted mineral discovery platform. This AI-assisted data synthesis enabled Rua Gold to actively and effectively rank its 2025 drill targets, accelerating its project advancement and de-risking its work programs in a matter of minutes, a process that would have taken months, if performed manually.
ACCELERATED DISCOVERY
Rua Gold inherited thousands of data points from historic activity on its multiple mine sites and exploration work with the Reefton Goldfields. The ability to rapidly mine this existing data for new insights and targets, while incorporating recent work, provided real-time feedback through VRIFY’s platform to inform drilling programs.
SCALABILITY and COST SAVINGS
Rua Gold is just beginning and is confident that VRIFY will continue to add value by allowing for the analysis of larger datasets without increasing costs linearly.
HIGHER ACCURACY
VRIFY’s proprietary Al model reduces human error and identifies patterns that manual review might miss, increasing discovery potential.

QAQC HISTORIC DRILLING (MR 5093)
Rua Gold is treating the drill results as historic.
The QP has verified the data disclosed, including drill collar location, sampling and analytical information contained in the written disclosure,
-
Data was verified by examination of remaining core in the core-box; confirming intervals, core splitting and interval handling procedures and logged core descriptions matched original core logging.
-
Verified the core sampling and assay procedures by examining and confirming from the original assay certificates of SGS and ALS laboratories that the sample numbers recorded matched the sample intervals logged.
-
Verified from original assay certificates stated blanks and certified standards and duplicates were used and reported, and where deviations outside 2 standard deviations assays have been repeated.
-
Verified that suitable assay methodology for coarse gold was used by both laboratories SGS Reefton method FASC30T(screen fire assay) and ALS method Au-SCR22AA (screen fire assay).
-
The QP has verified in the zone of exceptionally high-grade gold values that gold is clearly visible in veinlets within a significant quartz vein.
The QAQC summarized from the OceanaGold report is as follows:
‘Diamond drill samples were generally taken over 1 m intervals and cut in half. Half the core was then sent to SGS or ALS. Some of the significant reef samples were analyzed at the ALS laboratory in Townsville for rapid processing and the rest were analyzed at the SGS laboratory in Westport. Due to the large amount of quartz reef drilled in the first part of the program, a screen fire technique was introduced at SGS (FAS30T).
ALS Townsville preformed 1 kg screen fire assays (Au-SCR22AA) along with a standard fire assay procedure (Au-AA26). Diamond core submissions included at the minimum one blank and two certified standards and at least two lab duplicates taken after coarse crushing of the sample. If both standard assays from the same hole returned assay values outside two standard deviations of the actual value, the laboratory was requested to re-assay the job. Assays from dispatches RD131025.1 and RD131106.1 showed significant deviation from standards and checks. These two batches were re-assayed (RD131025.1R and RD131106.1R respectively).
All assay data was imported into the Reefton project acQuire database directly from laboratory reports.’

PHOTON ASSAYING
Samples were analyzed by PhotonAssay at ALS Perth, Australia (ALS code Au-PA01), which has a detection range of 0.03-350 ppm Au. PhotonAssay analysis works by bombarding samples with high-energy X-rays which excite atomic nuclei that produce gamma rays at signature energies, allowing for gold detection. This method has a fast turnaround time and is non-destructive, allowing the preservation of the entire whole-core and unlimited repeat testing. Samples were submitted with certified reference material (CRM) from OREAS into the sample stream every 5 samples.
ALS Perth is independent to Rua Gold and its quality management systems framework is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 or certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards.
The QP satisfactorily verified all data used in this disclosure.
